A brilliant film that helped define a genre
A Brilliant Conflict
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I don't know what to say, Turks in Space has left me speechless. I just don't get how anyone can make a movie like this, and think the end result is good enough to show it to the public. There is nothing in this movie worth the audience' time or money.The synopsis tell us that it is about a Turkish spaceship captain who searches the galaxy for a lost crew member. In reality it is just a bunch of paper thin, stereotypical, poorly acted characters going through an unfunny comedy routine, mixed in with a bit of promotion for Turkey and Turkish culture. The inane story is just something that happens in the background for mot of the running time, then ends with an underwhelming Disney style climax. Perhaps I just don't understand the charm of main actor Mehmet Ali Erbil but this is the second horrible movie I've seen him in. Things are not looking good for Turkish cinema if this is what it puts out.

So 20 years later they try to make a sequel and not just a sequel A COMEDIC SEQUEL even though the first movie was taken seriously! That is a bad idea from the start a it differs too much from the tone of the first movie which while it was silly it was taken seriously which adds to the appeal. The first flaw in this movie is the jokes are horrible! The jokes are so forced you would probably be seriously injured from the sudden force! The timing is awful as well mainly because they either go on for too long or they are so quick you would not even realize they were jokes. The movie relies on too many stereotypes and predict-abilities like a dog on the spaceship who is pissing on the equipment or an old lady who is the maid or a child soldier or heck an old man who is always asleep LOLROFLMAOBBQ!!!!!! the production value are decent but they are too good because the original was had a dirt poor budget which adds to the film's appeal but production values in this movie are not used for comedic effect even!!!! In case you have not realized there is no plot!!! The movie is just an hour and a half long three stooges skit in space (and if I wanted to watch that I would have watched The Three Stooges in Orbit!) the movie pretends it has one with the son of the protagonist from the first movie but he is painfully dull and random stuff just happens! Do not watch this movie! If you want comedy sci fi than go watch Red Dwarf, Mars Attacks!, Spaceballs, Galaxy Quest or The movie version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy just anything but this!!!!
View MoreOkay first i want to say even if i'm a Turk i don't like these type of movies but still i wanted to say a few things.The first movie 'Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam' was a total disaster everyone in Turkey makes fun of it because it was made seriously as a sci-fi movie and they stole many things from Star Wars.But the second movie is a comedy.Now the MOST important thing in a world class comedy film is to make EVERYONE on the planet laugh,but it doesn't mean that you have to make everyone laugh to make an ordinary comedy movie,i read that one commenter said that its not even close to funny,now i'm from turkey and believe me there are MANY European and American movies people from here don't laugh at and there are many movies you people don't laugh at,this films aim is Turkish population because Turkish sense of humor isn't same with the others,actually EVERY countries sense of humor is different with other countries so MY OPINION is that it doesn't make sense to say 'not even close to funny' to a 'comedy' movie that isn't in your country because it may not suit your sense of humor but people here liked it not very much but still they liked it,so please make your comments on comedy movies according to these things..i'm sorry if my English was bad..
View MoreI am really proud of the scenarist who wrote this movie. It requires an educational background and maturity with good knowledge of our culture to understand it. I read the other comments as well. The only thing I can say is that the movie is a really perfect summary of the characteristic behavior and thinking of our people. It is well done with all kinds of details with really nice criticisms of our culture. Besides, it balances the negative and positive sides of our people and culture objectively. Therefore, I recommend all foreigners to watch it if they wanna know Turkish people more. The film is a really really good reflection of Turkey. I would like to thank to all people who worked for and in the film.Yours sincerely
